The article highlights the response of middle-class individuals to the fisheries and livestock ministry's mobile shops, which offered meat, milk, and eggs at lower prices. Despite the reduced costs not being affordable for the low-income segment, these shops saw a surge of customers. However, the lack of a mechanism to limit sales to the needy and the swift depletion of stocks due to high demand among wealthier individuals have been criticized. The article also brings attention to the challenges faced by the lower income demographic in affording necessary food items, even at subsidized prices.
